Mediocre Advice: Men, monogamy and mathematics
By Julia Nevins | Mar. 23, 2016Dear Mediocre,
Dear Mediocre,
Dear Mediocre,
Now that all Valentine’s Day festivities are over, you may find that your two-week fling was really just a way to feel less lonely on Valentine’s Day. So you partied too hard over the break, drunkenly confessed your love to your fling — or hooked up with your fling’s best friend — and it’s likely you’re extremely single again. Now you’re left with your only reliable friend: Tinder. What better way to get a date than with a little liquid courage? But please, put away the drunk goggles or you might get catfished.
Two men took it upon themselves to support the local art scene when Central Florida Office Plus, a Gainesville arts-and-crafts supply store, closed down in 2014.
Congratulations, you have a Valentine! No matter if it’s a familiar face or a new flame, it’s hard not to take advantage of the holiday and be a little more lovey-dovey with your cherie amour than usual. As anti-consumerist as you may be, admit it: You’re kind of excited. This Valentine’s Day, skip TGI Fridays and find some fun, unconventional plans to do with your Valentine. Here are a few suggestions on making this year’s V-Day a little less cheesy and a little more memorable.
This show deserves all of the Dundies.

I’m pretty sure I have the herps, but is it true if I never get tested I’ll never really have it?

Me and my slam piece have been in a relationship for three months, and she’s been nagging me to go Facebook official. What do I do?
